Since starting in 2001, Rosie, who hails from NY, and her Dublin-born husband Des have produced an astonishing 20 million of their delicious, all natural, preservative-free bagels in Dungarvan, Co.Waterford.

Already available as a "jumbo bagel" offering under the "Rosie's" brand in supermarket freezer cabinets all over Ireland, Rosie's Broadway Bagels is excited about this innovative expansion. Says Rosie, 2008's WMB Entrepreneur of the Year, "We are delighted to be associated with Pat the Baker, who have a reputation for the freshness of their quality products. We worked for several months on the development of this fresh range, in striving to preserve the integrity of both of our brands. We are delighted that we have been able to maintain the quality of our bagels, naturally and without compromise." Added Des, "With so many food products being imported from overseas, contributing to the loss of jobs in the food manufacturing sector in Ireland, it is commendable that Pat the Baker has partnered with an Irish-owned and managed family bakery...supporting Irish jobs and Irish industry. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Pat the Baker." The new range of Pat and Rosie's fresh bagels are listed nationally, and consists of 3 flavours; Poppy Seed, Rosie's famous - The Works and Plain. Rosie's Broadway Bagels has just been named Best in Ireland by Bridgestone for the third year running, and is the recipient of 2 Great Taste Awards.
